CITY'S ever-expanding army of young fans will get a free addition to their 'uniform' on Friday, and chairman John Wardle is hoping they will cheer the team on in one of the most important games of the season.

Members of the Blues' 15,000-strong junior membership LIVE4CITY who attend the vital match against Charlton will be entitled to a free football scarf.

Junior Seasoncard holders, Junior Citycard members and all LIVE4CITY members can claim their free City scarf from the CityStore anytime after 10am on Friday.

Eligible fans just need to show their card to claim the scarf.

The scheme comes with the blessing of chairman John Wardle and the board, who have already sanctioned a cut in the price of next season's tickets for all young Blues followers.

"Tomorrow's game is absolutely crucial for us, as three points would go a very long way in securing our future in the Premiership for another season," said Wardle.

"Our fantastic fans always play an enormous part on a match day, and their input tomorrow cannot be underestimated. I hope that we will see scarves being waved aplenty at this most vital of fixtures."

LIVE4CITY has attracted thousands of members since it was formed last August and it continues to grow. The number of junior fans attending matches is up almost 40 per cent on last season. Around three-quarters of young match-going fans are members of the scheme.
